Assess Build Chem's Deep Basement Waterproofing Solutions for Buidlings
Sunny Surlaker, Director, Assess Build Chem, discusses the importance of deep basement waterproofing, the challenges it poses, and how Assess Build Chem, a leading provider of construction chemicals, offers innovative products and solutions for effective and long-lasting protection of buildings.

Basement waterproofing is a crucial aspect of building construction, especially in areas prone to high water tables or heavy rainfall. Proper waterproofing ensures the longevity and structural integrity of the building while creating a dry and secure space. However, waterproofing deep basements goes beyond simply providing a membrane, admixtures or surface-level protection. It involves creating a comprehensive system that prevents water intrusion from all directions, including the retaining walls, floors, and joints.
Deep basements are particularly vulnerable to water damage, making waterproofing a critical step in the building construction. In short, effective basement waterproofing allows effective use of space and lowers maintenance costs for basements. Deep basement waterproofing presents unique challenges due to the increased hydrostatic pressure exerted by the surrounding soil and water tables. Factors such as soil conditions, groundwater levels, and building design must be considered to implement an effective waterproofing solution.
Assess Build Chem’s range of construction chemicals, specifically designed for basement waterproofing, are known for their exceptional quality, durability, and performance in challenging environments. Our core competence lies in formulating, manufacturing, and assembling highly effective waterproofing systems to enhance the durability of basements. We focus on Correct Materials, Correct Methodology, Trained Manpower, and Correct Machinery. We work with specifiers and applicators to deliver a defect free waterproofing system to the end-user.
We follow a 5-Step Waterproofing Method that delivers success for any type of basement structure or area:
- Concrete Improvement: This step includes restoration of the surface to a pristine condition to receive waterproofing. This includes using hydrophobic, or the popular high performing crystalline integral waterproofing additives such as SS – ConProof CR in new concrete, SS – LeakProof, SS – NanoFill and SS – PolyBond Range of polymer additives for mortar, and the SS – StructoCrete and SS – StructoRep Range of Polymer Repair mortars to repair and restore surfaces.
- Filling Cracks and Voids: This is normally achieved by cutting and patching with repair mortars or using Injection Grouting to helps to close water ingress pathways. Solutions such as SS – WaterStop FC Cementitious Grout, SS – CrackSeal EP Epoxy Grouts, F. Willich, and Rascor Range of Polyurethane and Silicate Grouts and SS – WaterStop DPC Chemical for Heritage Structures help us to effectively seal water pathways. For both new or old basements, we can stop any water ingress problems with proven grouting solutions.
- Joints and Penetrations: The next step is to effectively waterproof corners, expansion joints, and construction joints, because these areas are most prone to leak first. Assess’ Range of SS – JointSeal FT for Corner / Construction Joints, SS – JointSeal T1 for Expansion Joints, SS – JointSeal FT Membrane for Pipe Penetrations and SS – JointSeal SW / MaxJoint W-Seal Swellable water bars help to both repair and protect joints reliably.
- Coatings and Waterproof Barriers: Once the surface, cracks and corners are prepared, we are finally ready to install the waterproof barrier. These barriers can be slurry applied crystalline systems from our SS – CrystoSeal Range, it can be cementitious flexible coating SS – SuperSeal Flex or ready-to-use mastic coatings SS – FlexProof AC [Acrylic], SS – FlexProof PU or SS – FlexProof PU (B) [Polyurethane].
- Drainage and Protection: This is an important part of the waterproofing system that allows water to drain away from the waterproofed surface. This can be done by means of various mortars, screeds, or tiles. We provide a full range of additives for mortars and screeds such as SS – ConProof Range, SS – PlastProof IL and a superhydrophobic, breathable, ready to use mortar SS – HydroNil PM. Tiling can be done with our fully waterproof tile adhesives from our SS – TileFix Range.
Implementing our deep basement waterproofing solutions requires a comprehensive approach. Given below are some key steps to ensure effective implementation:
Thorough evaluation of the site, including soil condition, groundwater level, and potential sources of water ingress, are studied to design a suitable waterproofing system.
Based on the site assessment, our team of experts recommend the appropriate waterproofing products. Each product is carefully formulated to address specific challenges and provide optimal performance. Accordingly, specification and methodologies are generated to address project challenges.
